Magnavox VR8415Sl01 av out?

No problem with coaxial output but I want to use rca jacks. How do I switch to them. Obviously for this 84 model, there's no menu and I don't see a switch.

Do you have the a/v in and out jacks on the back? Just plug your a/v cable in the out jacks then in to the a/v in jacks on your viewing device. Don't need a menu for that even on menu driven decks. All the best, Tom.J p.s. If that doesn't work then there is a fault in the machine.

I might be thinking of line in when having to switch from other source but connecting this thing doesn't get me anywhere unless it's regular coaxial.

I've had the same problems with beta and vhs units. I noticed the new flat screen television don't seem to be able to detect direct analog signals from the older equipment . I've had to use the RF/ coaxial mode to watch videos on equipment from the 80's. Also some tapes won't play in one machine but will work in another.

Yes, I believe this is the price I'm paying for buying THX certified equipment. I just recently got a new setup with receiver, speakers, flat screen, and sub. Trying to stick to my other old school stuff seems to be a no-no. This is the reason I keep all my crt sets but right now, I don't have the room to set one up.

You probably need a TBC to make the AV out signal clean enough for the new stuff to sync to/recognize it.

Pac Attack, I have the Panasonic version of your VCR and there is a switch on the front of the machine behind a flip-down panel that allows you to switch between tuner and A/V Input mode you have to switch that switch from tuner mode to A/V mode in order to be able to use the A/V inputs on the back of the VCR. I hope this helps!

No switch on this one. A few buttons behind the door. Nothing else.

Huh, that's weird because my Panasonic VCR that's like your has a switch on the front for switching between the tuner and the A/V jacks on the back. Although now come to think of it I know there were a couple of 1980s vintage Panasonic and Quasar VCRs that would just activate the A/V inputs by just simply plugging in the A/V source into the A/V input jacks on the back and no switches were needed, that might be the way your VCR is.

I have a Panasonic built GE from the same era. I can use the A/V outs at the same time as the RF out. It does have the A/V switch to select between the inputs and the tuner. I use them both.

Went directly into av in on my plasma set and was working at the same time as the coaxial. I must have had it in the wrong jack on my avr. Then again, it probably doesn't work that way since I'm using hdmi out from the receiver.

Every VCR I've ever seen the A/V outs are always on. Some older VCRs do not have a tuner/aux switch, so as soon as you plug something into the RCA inputs they disable the tuner and switch over to the aux input.
